Manu Parpia, Managing Director & CEO said, “This quarter we saw volume growth in most of our verticals and further strengthening of our pipeline. The margins of the Company were affected by the anticipated impact of global salary raises and the unanticipated weakening of the Euro as well as lower utilization due to hiring for expected projects. We expect to see margin improvements in the coming quarters as well as continued growth in our revenues.”
